"Origin from the two cities in the east and west?"
"Yeah." Chai Shao rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at the seemingly calm Princess Pingyang, knowing that his wife was furious this time.
Princess Pingyang gritted her teeth, "Someone must have instigated it, otherwise it wouldn't have spread throughout the city so quickly!"
Chai Shao actually didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he just said vaguely: "Maybe, but Huairen has many good connections and doesn't have many enemies."
"It can't be Pei Shiju." Princess Pingyang snorted, "If Huairen is forced to return to the capital, my father can only use his second brother. What good will it do to the East Palace?"
Chai Shao followed his wife's words and said, "Is it Tiance Mansion?"
The most likely person to do such a thing is the King of Qin who most wants to regain military power... As long as Li Shimin returns to the battlefield, most of Li Jiancheng's crown prince position will basically be lost.
This aspect is really not Princess Pingyang's strong point. She hesitated for a while, "I heard that Ling Jing is trusted by the second brother?"
The meaning is obvious. Ling Jing and Li Shan are life-and-death friends, and they are greatly favored by Li Shan. If Li Shimin did it, Ling Jing would strongly object and even remind Li Shan.
Chai Shao yawned. He was now in charge of the imperial palace and controlled the imperial army in Beiya. He went to bed very late last night and was woken up by his wife early this morning. He had been busy all morning and was really sleepy.
Seeing his wife frowning and thinking hard, Chai Shao said casually: "Anyway, Huairen said it himself, following the example of the Xue brothers, there is Ling Jing in the Tiance Mansion, and there are also people in the East Palace... What are you worried about?"
"Although there were several battles in Guji Town, Cangtou River, and Jingzhou, the trade routes were not cut off." Chai Shao continued: "There are many barbarians in the east and west cities... Don't forget, the one who fears Huairen the most is not
Only Pei Shiju."
"Barbarians?" Princess Pingyang blinked, "Turks?"
"The three Khans before and after were defeated, and they were hunted down in such a panic. All four Khan flags were captured. It is said that the name of the King of Handan in the Tang Dynasty is frightening in the grassland, and it can stop children from crying at night." Chai Shao said with a smile:
"How can you not hate Tuli Khan if you make him Dubu Khan?"
After a pause, Chai Shao added: "It shouldn't be Tuli Khan... The man who was released by Huairen during the battle in Jingzhou should be Ashina She'er. This person is indeed, as Huairen said, some
Taolue."
Princess Pingyang thought for a while before nodding. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her husband sitting there with his head hanging down, still a little bit. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Go back to the house and have a rest. We have to patrol the imperial city in the evening."
.”
"Uh..." Chai Shao forcefully opened his eyelids and complained: "It's not Huairen...it's not good to choose anyone, you have to choose someone!"
"Who do you choose if you don't choose?" Princess Pingyang glared, "Su Dingfang and Dou Gui are both going with the army. Zhang Jin is old, how can we let Luo Yi control the Beiya Imperial Army?"
Chai Shao couldn't laugh or cry, and gave up. After his wife's confinement, she regained her strength and was in much better spirits now... And he also knew in his mind that although the battle at Tiantai Mountain was not his fault, he failed to arrive in time, and Li Yuan
Points were deducted in his eyes, and Li Shan also had good intentions.
"By the way, Dalang, how is Erlang's studies?"
Princess Pingyang asked casually, and Chai Shao complained again... The general idea was that Li Huairen was not a good person. He took his two sons wild, and now his buttocks look like sores, and he can't sit down in the study at all.
live.
"I'll let my uncle Huairen take charge from now on." Princess Pingyang pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't expect the eldest man, the erlang will be capable of anything in the future, but he must also be able to learn one or two things."
"Well, Huairen's knowledge is mixed anyway..."
After watching her husband go back to the house to sleep, Princess Pingyang tidied up, called a few female guards, and went straight out of the door and entered the palace... She must seek justice for Huairen!
Indeed, it was probably a counter-intentional plan by the Dubu Khan envoy, but for it to spread throughout the city so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes who was adding fuel to the flames. Princess Pingyang still understood this.
In the Ganlu Hall, people are enjoying themselves at the moment. In the past few months, the army was defeated first, and Li Yuan was almost captured alive by Liang Jun in Tiantai Mountain. Then the army was defeated for the second time, and almost the whole army was wiped out. The Turks stormed Jingzhou, and some people drank from the Wei River.
Li Yuan was worried about the omen of Chang'an.
But after the Battle of Jingzhou, Li Yuan finally felt relieved. He beheaded more than 40,000 people and captured more than 40,000 horses, cattle and sheep. The Turks fled back to the grassland. Although they had not yet been able to regain the three states and expel Liang Shidu, Li Yuan was not worried.
He is also a veteran on the battlefield and knows very well that Liang Jun occupies most of Yuanzhou and cannot win this battle quickly.
So, at the end of the year, Li Yuan began to have fun...well, I can't say that, it should be said that he recovered his nature. In the previous half year, he had been diligent in political affairs.
In fact, before the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan was not a diligent monarch, because on the one hand, the three provinces were responsible for most of the government affairs, and the East Palace also took on part of it, which gave Li Yuan a lot of time... otherwise he would not have
How to give birth to so many cubs in just a few years.
After the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan began his most diligent period since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This was also a change in the direction of the court. The three provinces did not matter, but the authority of the East Palace was greatly suppressed. In addition, Li Shimin began to exercise the ministerial order.
power... The atmosphere in the DPRK and China is quite strange now.
The prince was unwilling to give in, and the King of Qin did not take advantage of the situation to make progress. As a result, although the situation in the court was strange, it was also calm... Of course, this was also due to the Turks sweeping the three states before.
At the end of the year, Li Yuan finished handling political affairs and drove his eldest son back to the East Palace and his second son to Shangshu Province. He finally found some free time to drink and have fun with his concubines and children.
Li Yuan, who was lying on a soft couch while listening to the music of silk and bamboo, with his hands still tapping on his knees, casually asked: "Sanhu, has the location been decided?"
During the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuanji, who urged Li Yuan to return to Chang'an immediately, was extremely rejected by Li Yuan, but he had no choice but to be followed by the prince Li Jiancheng who delayed sending troops... Li Yuanji was a blessing in disguise.
In Li Yuan's view, Shiro Wen could not recite poems and compose poems, and Wu could not control the battlefield, but he was filial after all... Wasn't it also filial to suggest that he return to Beijing immediately?
Just a little stupid.
But no matter how stupid he is, Dalang is too stupid and too smart, so he would do such a crazy thing!
"I chose Yuhua Mountain." Li Yuanji replied with a smile: "Last year, my father passed by the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum on his way back. The forest here is lush, the water is winding, and the peaks are green. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on one side. The scenery is quite beautiful.
.”
Li Yuan was also very familiar with Guanzhong. After thinking for a while, he asked: "It seems not far from the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum?"
"More than fifty miles away, it is located in Yijun County, Fangzhou." Li Yuanji added: "I have asked Shangshu Ling Yang Gong before, and he said that this place is located in the middle of Ziwu Ridge, guarding the North-South Avenue to the east, and is more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an. It is the most suitable place.
